Publisher Description

Two powerful rival families of the spacefaring merchant race called the Tizarin are to be joined through marriage, and the U.S.S. Enterprise is chosen as the site for the wedding. Captain Picard is pleased by the happy duty, but his pleasure is cut short by the arrival of the Federation delegate from Betazed, Lwaxana Troi, the mother of ship's counsellor, Deanna Troi.

Despite Lwaxana Troi's romantic overtures toward the captain, the celebration seems to go smoothly until the situation is further complicated by the arrival of the notorious and all powerful being called Q, who has come to examine and challenge the human concept of love. The festivities are thrown into turmoil, the powerful Tizarin families are on the verge of war, and Lwaxana Troi is determined to teach Q a lesson in love that he will never forget.

"What a great book. I love any Star Trek book that has Q in it, but this one was even better. Q vs. Lwaxana Troi! It starts out with action and doesn't let up. I would recommend this to any sci-fi reader bus especially to Star Trek readers everywhere. "

Quotes

  • “David is an accomplished humorist, and he both knows and respects the ‘Star Trek’ universe. This is the first ‘Next Generation’ novel to reach the classic level of the older novels of Duane, Lorrah, Hambly, or Snodgrass.”

    " This was a fun book, but not as much as some of Peter David's other 'Q' books, such as I, Q. However, there were 12 pages near the end that made the entire book worthwhile and reminds everyone just how much butt Lwaxana Troi kicks. "

    " Best Star Trek Book EVER! My copy is literally falling apart. Lwaxana/Q = OTP! Hitchhiker's Guide may tell you the *answer* to life, the universe, and everything, but a good geek knows this book reveals the meaning of life. "

    " Lwaxana Troi and Q meet, two of the great characters on star trek. Hilarity ensues. In the audio book, the actors that play Q and Lwaxana actually narrate. "

    " Excellent Peter David novel in the TNG series. Q gets involved in marital relations between some warring races, and with Deanna Troi's mother. Good characterization and a good bit of fun ... this is NOT a dark tale like "Encounter at Farpoint". "
